Seiya and the others located the Pope.
So they went to Greece to confront him,
but Shaina forced them to land
on an island in the Mediterranean.
Seiya defeated Shaina,
but he and Shun were turned into stone
by the Shield of Medusa
that Algol wore.
Because of the shield of Medusa,
Shiryu could not use his Rozan Rising Dragon effectively.
[ Shiryu Fights Back! ]
Dragon,
if you don't fight back, you'll never win!
Just like in the myth of Medusa...
Wait, that's it!
In order to fight against Medusa,
Perseus borrowed a mirrored shield from Athena.
He knew that if you looked directly at Medusa, you would turn into stone.
So, instead he looked at the reflection in the shield
and cut off her head!
All right.
Now what?
Algol, I'll take your advice.
I won't hide behind the shield anymore.
I'll attack instead!
You fool!
If you can't look the enemy in the eye,
your attack will be useless! Don't you know that?
Let's get on with it, Dragon!
He vanished!
Over here, Dragon!
This is the end for you!
Phantom Snake Attack!
Die!
Don't underestimate me!
Damn...If I don't defeat him,
Seiya and Shun will never turn back to normal!
I also know the legend
of how Perseus beat Medusa.
Do you think I'm stupid?
That's right...
After all, you're not invincible, but just another Saint...
Everything I've tried so far proved to be useless.
He took my Phantom Snake Attack and yet he's still alive...
The Dragon Cloth is strong!
This time, I'll attack you straight on!
If I'm blindfolded, I can't see the shield of Medusa.
You're a fool, Dragon!
Do you really believe that you can beat me with your eyes covered?
Have it your way! Try to attack me face-to-face!
Here I come, Algol!
What the...?
My shield turned into stone ... That's impossible!
Even if your eyes are covered or closed,
you can't hide from the power of the shield.
If you attack me directly,
you will never be able to resist the charm of Medusa.
Her power cannot be covered
by fabric or eyelids!
What can I do? Is it impossible to win?!
Since your shield is now a useless lump of stone,
you can't hide anymore.
I'll turn the rest of you into stone!
Damn!
If the shield can't be used...
This time, it's really the end!
Now I'll turn you into stone!
Hold it!
It's that Steel Saint!
Steel Saint?
Who are you guys?
I'm the Steel Saint, Daichi of the Earth.
I'm the Steel Saint, Sho of the Sky.
And I'm the Steel Saint, Ushio of the Sea.
I live in the Sanctuary,
but I've never heard of you Steel Saints before.
Fine, I'll deal with you first
before I finish off Dragon.
You still haven't found Seiya and the others?
Not yet, but we're close.
Really? Please, continue your search.
Miss.
Tatsumi, what is it?
The Steel Saints sent information
to the Graude e Foundation.
They sent us information?
Which information would that be?
Seiya and the others landed on an island
500 km southwest of Athens.
Miss.
The Steel Saints seem to be our allies.
Not necessarily. We have to be absolutely sure.
I truly hope they are, but they might be trying to deceive us.
Keep in mind what Ikki told us!
Hyoga, how much longer until we arrive?
It's a supersonic airplane,
so it shouldn't take too long any more.
Shun, hang in there!
Here's my chance!
You brat!
Sho!
Damn!
Are the Steel Saints really our allies?
You brats! I'll shut you up for good!
Prepare to die!
Phantom Snake Attack!
It's only an illusion! Don't let it fool you!
Damn you! How dare you interfere with my fight!
I'll turn all three of you into stone.
Hold it!
I'll defeat you first!
What did you say?!
Dragon!
You cannot win! Don't you get it yet?
But if you insist, you'll be
the first one I turn into stone!
Algol, you don't impress me!
What?
You must be defeated in order to to revert Seiya back to normal
and I'm prepared to make a big sacrifice to do so.
To break the shield of Medusa...
Impossible! He blinded himself?!
Are you crazy?!
I know very well what I am doing.
My eyes are worth little in this battle!
Come on, Algol.
I can still fight you with my right hand.
Die you bastard!
Dragon... !
Stay back!
I know where he is.
What?
Then you should have beaten me by now!
Athena is showing me the way...
Rozan Rising Dragon !
You...
In order to win... You put out your own eyes...
I never seen such a bold man...
Algol... was a terrible opponent...
Dragon!
Are you a Steel Saint?
Yeah.
Please tell me,
how are Seiya and Shun?
Dragon! Pegasus and the others are turning back to normal.
Really?
That's great... !
We reached our destination.
Algol!
He's dead...You bastards!
You killed Algol?!
Sho... !
What's this?
My powers are useless!
Sho can intercept all waves.
What a shame.
Damn! You wait and see!
Are you guys alright?
Seiya! Shun!
Seiya, Shun.
Thank you, Shiryu.
Shiryu, you... !
In order to save you, he blinded himself.
In order to save us?
Shiryu...
Seiya, Shun, this is great.
Damn! You're making me cry.
Steel Saints...
They aided us again, when we were in need.
Really? Then you really are our allies?
Or are you our enemy?
Tell us!
Seiya, don't talk like that.
We have to cure Shiryu's eyes... and quickly!
You're right.
Shiryu, we're sorry.
But how do we leave this place?
A supersonic plane is on its way.
We told them where you were.
What did you say? Who on earth are you guys?
If you want to know who we are,
you have to talk to Dr. Masen
of the Graude e Foundation.
We'll see you around.
They're very agile.
What's more...
Who's Dr. Masen?
Seiya!
Shiryu!
We must quickly cure him.
These are the Steel Saints.
Pegasus, how's Dragon doing?
The operation still isn't finished.
Don't worry, it'll be okay!
Who are these people?
It seems that their Cloths are different from ours.
We're different from the Saints,
who fight with Cosmos.
Even so, this doesn't mean we're useless.
These Cloths are man-made.
So they're machines?
We're the Steel Saints and were developed secretly
by order of the young lady's grandpa.
Grandpa gave these instructions?
I apologize for making you wait.
It's been a while, Miss.
Dr. Masen, What's the meaning of this?
Allow me to explain.
More than ten years ago
your grandfather, who came back from Greece,
gave me instructions:
Dr. Masen, I want you
to make some Cloths for me.
Cloths?
I don't care how much you spend,
but they have to be finished in ten years.
But President, what's this Cloth you speak of?
I don't exactly know myself,
but it's the Cloth
that protects the body of a Saint.
Is that so?
Yes ... I hope you can keep a secret.
I'll recruit some youngsters to become Saints,
who will defend peace
and the righteousness of mankind.
They'll retrieve the Bronze Cloths.
They'll need the assistance from the Steel Saints
who will wear the Cloths you make.
I began to develop the Steel Cloths,
but they were flawed.
The intension, stiffness and weight did not live up to our expectations.
Because I got your grandfather's continuous encouragement,
I did the best I could to develop the Cloths.
In secret, of course.
Five years ago, when your grandfather died,
I was a broken man.
But a few youngsters had the potential to wear these Cloths.
They were chosen,
and had begun their training.
So...I had to go on
and only recently, I finished the project.
Grandpa planned it very elaborately...
But why didn't you tell me
about the Steel Saints?
Because... he asked me not to.
Grandpa, hurry!
I hope you can keep this a secret,
even from Saori.
Even her?
If you want to cheat your enemies, you must cheat your friends first.
Only tell her
once the Saints have gathered around her.
When she realizes that she is Athena,
and decides to fight against evil,
I'll send the Steel Saints to her aid.
So that's how it was.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
You're too nice, Miss.
It's hard to grasp that he
planned it so elaborately.
I thought he was a terrifying guy.
Shut up!
Shiryu will be surprised once he hears this.
It'll be okay. The operation will work.
Shiryu!
The effect of the drugs still hasn't worn off.
Doctor, did the operation succeed?
His life is no longer in danger.
But his eyes...
can't be cured.
Then Shiryu's eyes are...
I'm sorry.
Doctor! You must cure his eyes!
He did this...for us!
Shiryu!
